Kuroko: I had already won the championship before the miracle happened.

Kuroko Tetsuya gritted his teeth and walked onto the field.

"Ogiwara-kun..."

“I didn’t give up, nor did I admit defeat…”

"You've done a great job."

Ogiwara Narihiro leaned on Kuroko's shoulder and released all his resentment.

What exactly is victory?

This summer's All-China League, the first in history to win four consecutive championships in the All-China League, ended with Teiko's absolute glory, but it has become just a grain of sand in the sea of ​​memory.

While bringing honor to a group of young people, it also brought the pain of growing up for Kuroko Tetsuya and Ogiwara Narihiro.

After all the celebrations were over, Kuroko sat on the bench at the sidelines, lost in thought. Kise asked his teammates about it with some surprise, "Huh? Are there any friends of Kuroko's in the finals? If so, you should have told me earlier..."

"It's not impossible to let it go a little bit..."

Hear the words.

Not just the Generation of Miracles.

Even Kuroko, whose mood had sunk to the bottom, raised his head with a serious expression.

Suddenly.

Kise Ryouta looked embarrassed and at a loss.

At this time, Akashi patted Huang Lai's back and said, "Whether it is based on respect for the opponent or respect for one's own conscience..."

"As long as the game is not over, you have to give it your all."

"Over the years..."

"This is the most important thing our predecessors taught us."

Qingfeng nodded. "Isn't that right? Looking back, the 60 points I scored in this final will be an important record. I don't want any other matches that lower my level..."

"Otherwise, Shigure-senpai would laugh at me."

Murasakibara bit into the delicious stick and said, "Anyway, I won't lose to these ordinary people~"

Midorima carefully wrapped the bandage and said, "Just do your best and leave the rest to fate."

Haizaki Shogo said nothing, just sat next to Kuroko and gave Kise a look that showed he understood it himself.

Kise Ryota: "I..."

Kise Ryota: "I understand."

really.

The gap still exists.

It's not just about strength.

hateful……

Why didn't I join the basketball club earlier?

Chapter 271: Go watch the high school IH finals tomorrow, Haichang vs. Luoshan!

Two days later.

Teiko Basketball Club.

On this day, Heizizhe did not show up either.

But apparently...

It’s not because of Ogiwara Shigehiro.

because……

It wasn't just Kuroko who didn't show up, but also Haizaki, Aomine, and Akashi.

"Murasara-chan, when is our resignation ceremony?"

"what?"

"I don't know~"

"Akagi's not here again..."

"It's up to the captain to decide, right~?"

Bang~

"By the way, Murasakibara-chan, you're really eating every day. Are you going to continue growing?" Huang Lai Ryouta complained, and then continued speechlessly: "What did everyone do after the finals of the national competition ended..."

"Even Akashi is gone..."

"The basketball club doesn't care anymore?"

Hear the words.

Murasakibara gave Kise a strange look.

"that……"

"No one came to see you?"

"yellow……"

At this moment, a strange middle-aged man suddenly pushed open the door of an activity room in front and walked out.

"Then let's talk later, Midorima-kun."

"Hopefully you'll change your mind by then."

As the voice was spoken, Midorima came out immediately. Kise greeted him and looked at the middle-aged man's back curiously, and asked, "Little Midorima, that person just now..."

"Is it a scout?"

Midorima shook his head, "No..., it's the supervisor of Shutoku High School."

Huang Lai was surprised for a moment, "The supervisor came in person..."

"It hasn't been finalized yet...but Shutoku's basketball club has pretty good facilities and they also place a lot of emphasis on studying."

"That's a great school for Midorima-chan." Kise nodded, but when he looked up, he saw a rare hesitation in Midorima's eyes. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Midorima pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Murasakibara. "What about you? Have you made up your mind? Do you prefer going to Akita or staying in Tokyo?"

"Eh?"

"I don't quite understand~"

"but……"

"I heard the school cafeteria over there seems to be delicious..."

Midorima: "...What on earth did that former national team player say to recruit you..."

"Masako-chan?"

"She also said... that the team members are all very tall..."

"Good defense?"

"perhaps……"

"Is that all?"

"Oh."

"correct……"

"She also said that Yangquan High School's inside shots are now over two meters."

Hear the words.

Midorima nodded.

In other words, besides Murasakibara, are there two other inside players over 2m tall?

In this case……

If he and Murasakibara were included, Akita's Yosen High School would be able to form an extra-large lineup of tall players. At least in terms of height, there would be another possibility of fighting against the two seniors.

"Wait……"

"and many more!!"

At this time.

Huang Lai raised his hand as he felt something was wrong the more he listened!

"Have you guys decided to join a team?"

Hearing this, Midorima, like Murasakibara, showed a strange expression, "It's not just us. Haizaki and Aomine are probably going to the hospital to look for Kuroko in order to recruit him."

"Hospital?"

"I heard that Kuroko is definitely going to join Seirin. He went to visit Seirin's Kiyoshi Teppei this morning. As for Haizaki and Aomine, Fukuda Soso and Toou have contacted them respectively. But Haizaki knows without a doubt that if Kuroko joins Seirin, he will most likely not go to Fukuda Soso."

Huang Lailiang was disappointed. "Then...what about me? Why didn't anyone come to see me?"

Amidst Kise's miserable expression, Midorima was about to offer him some pointers, such as suggesting he go find Aomine and go to Toou with him...

But at this moment, Akashi came over from not far away.

behind...

There are also Kuroko, Momoi, Aomine, and Haizaki who returned to school at the same time.

"Everyone."

"Let's put the high school team recruitment aside for now."

"We're leaving for Hiroshima soon."

"Hiroshima?"

"doing what?"

"Um……"

"Go watch the high school IH game tomorrow."

"Hai Chang..."

"To Luo Shan."

Everyone: "!"

……

On the third day after the finals of the National Championships.

For Kaijo High School, the ladder to the final championship is right in front of them, but the last opponent stands in their way.

Not surprisingly.

It was Emperor Luo Shan who had swept all the championships in high school for two consecutive years.

That day....

In Haichang's dressing room.

Kurona Shinji looked at Kasamatsu Yukio, who was sitting there, unusually quiet today, and couldn't help but say, "Didn't you sleep well last night? You have dark circles under your eyes..."

Kasamatsu Yukio: "..."

He rubbed his eyes randomly without saying anything.

"Are you too nervous to sleep?"

Kasamatsu Yukio turned to look at the relaxed Kurona Shinji. Facing this fellow Teiko player who consistently won, he hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "From junior high to high school, this is the first time I've reached the finals."

Kasamatsu Yukio said this and couldn't help but look at Shigure Akito, "That Ogi Oka Kasayuki, if Shigure faces him, it will probably take a lot of energy and physical strength."

"I want to support him as much as possible."

Having said that, Kasamatsu Yukio fell into his own thoughts again.
